This message (apologies for cross-posting) is being sent on behalf of Paul Skelley (Entomology Section Administrator, Florida State Collection of Arthropods (FSCA)) and Zachary Prusak (Zachary Prusak, Florida Fire Manager for the Nature Conservancy) who are working on getting all of the donated books that the FSCA has out to the greater entomological world (and even beyond) in two ways. One, a much more organized "come on by and purchase books" at the FSCA, and some on ebay. The main purpose of this will be dedicated to raising funds for the Center for Systematic Entomology (CSE) ( http://centerforsystematicentomology.org/).
Here are links to some of the books currently for sale on ebay with more to come: "Monograph of North American Proctotrypidae" Ashmead 1893 http://www.ebay.com/itm/111862450774?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 "African Genera of Acridoidea" Dirsh 1965 http://www.ebay.com/itm/401048489020?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 For the past 20 years the CSE has served as a non-profit corporation designed to further systematics in its broadest sense. The CSE has supported the FSCA in many ways, including: purchases of computer software, library materials, museum study trips, labor for bulk sample sorting, and has even provided a number of grants for specialists to study at the FSCA.
